great pump - Review written on September 16, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

We have used this pump on a few camping trips and it works great! We have yet to drain the battery in the field, so it holds its charge very well. I also love the deflation feature so you can quickly deflate large air mattresses with the help of the pump.

I got King-sized air mattress and quick pump together yesterday by mail for my first camping tomorrow. However, the pump never worked. It seems just bad luck, however I can't return this product to the Amazon. I called to Coleman service center near my place but they only repair stove and lantern. If you don't have Coleman service center near your place, you need to pay for shipping for this heavy product to send it somewhere Coleman service center. I didn't know this restriction when I ordered this product. If Amazon let me know this restriction more clearly, I would not embarrassed when I found the problem of pump.

I am very impressed with the volume of air that this pump can push. It filled up the Colman double mattress unbelievably fast. It is a bit noisy, but it runs so fast that it really does not make a difference.

Two minor gripes. The first is that it would be nice if it would have had a carrying case to store the pump, charger cord and the nozzles together, or at least have on-board storage for the nozzles. The other is that the rubber plug in the back must be pulled out in order for it to run. It took me a little while to figure out why it would not run at first.

Highly recommended, particularly if you have a large mattress to fill. It is a `must have' for me.

I purchased this item some time ago, it works well and the charge stays with it a long time but it is a little weak; I use it for my inflatable kayak and always need to finish the job using the foot pump becasue this thing can't provide enough pressure. It does save a lot of leg work though!

This is one quick pump! It blows up our Coleman king-sized mattress in about 2 minutes, deflates it just as quickly. Quite noisy for the person holding the pump, but it does it's job well so I can't complain too much about that. Also, it's easy to misplace the nozzles since there is no place for them to snap onto the body of the pump, so I have those in a ziplock bag with the charging cord. These are minor inconveniences. I got the rechargeable pump since we would be using it for camping and travel in addition to in our house for a guest bed. I wish it were suitable for pumping up bicycle tires.

This and the air mattress were both good purchases!!!

My Coleman QuickPump blower came with a housing that had a broken locking tab inside of it. You could hear it bouncing around when you would shake it. At the same time it would not run consistently. I thought this was the broken tab jamming the fan or something else - but I was wrong. After two weeks of disappointment I opened the housing to remove the broken tab and I saw a small label next to the DC 6V charging inlet (on the outside and back end of the housing) that said you have to remove the plug that is in the recharging hole to allow the blower to operate. After doing this the blower works great and all the time. If the tab wasn't broken leaving me to believe this was the problem I would have figured out that this plug must be removed sooner; and, if I would have not received this unit with the broken tab - and the resulting confusion and concern - I would have found this item to be excellent. By the way, I really don't plan to use this blower to inflate air cushions. I will be using it to get fires that use green or wet wood going! Because of the Emerald ash borer, we have to buy local wood which often is not so good. This blower helps me make do!!! BTW: Warning: You must ask camp fire attendees to move away before using!

We bought this pump for our air mattress when we go camping. It is great -- it took about 40 seconds to completely fill our full size mattress. We selected this pump because it was rechargeable and we don't always camp where there is electricity. It's also small, which makes it nice to pack and take along. Great price, too.

After charging the pump on Thursday, I was able to blow up 2 medium-sized rafts and my 2-person kayak on Friday. Then without recharging it, I used it Sunday to inflate my kayak. It works quickly, and is not too loud (not exactly quiet though.)

I have 3 or 4 of these low voltage air pumps and this one is so far superior to the others I'm going to throw the others away. Good job Coleman! Better air flow, easier use (good handle, easy grip, nice bayonet attachment on the tips), and longer battery life.
No Soreness Inflation. - Review written on July 14, 2008

This inflates and deflates over and over without needing a charge. Will not over inflate though. Only .5 psi inflation at max. VERY IMPORTANT! You have to pull the tab out of the charge port on the back for it to work. Almost wanted to return it til I figured this out.
Blew up my boat! - Review written on July 03, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

I bought this pump for my Sevylor HF350 inflatable boat. It blew it up in about 20 minutes of actual run time. The directions read to take a 20 minute break after 10 minutes of continuous use.
I was surprised by how it keeps on pumping even with a lot of back pressure and resistance from the inflatable.
Afterwards, I blew up a Coleman Colossus raft in about 5 minutes, and an air mattress in about 2 min!!
So far, I think it's a great value.

When it was delivered, I automatically opened up the box and checked it out. The battery was charged, which I thought might mess up battery life... but it seems unaffected. This thing is pretty solidly built. My other pump is a cheaper coleman one, and i thought this was just kinda like that one. I was wrong. This thing pumps at least 2x or 3x faster than the other. It has good recharge time and all in all i say its a great buy for 23 bucks, as opposed to a manual pump for $15-$20

This device works better than advertized. The feature to mechanically deflate as well as inflate is invaluable at tightly rolling my air mattress. The speed at which the device inflates my kingsized air mattress is impressive.

This is an excellent pump. We used it with our Coleman Air Bed and it performed well. The bed inflated quickly and the noise was well within acceptable range.

Used it once so far and it worked fine. A bit noisy but doesn't take long at all to inflate an air mattress. I had the old Coleman for years, lost the recharger but used it anyway and it went on and on till it finally quit. I used the recharger from the new one and the old one works again, but doesn't hold the charge as long and the air doesn't come out as strong as on the new one. The new handle is nice with a good grip and it seems slightly lighter. Always a good product

This is a very nice pump. however, be aware that this pump (and all others like it) can not create enough pressure to pump an inflatable kayak up to it's full needed pressure. It does get a lot of air in the kayak quickly, but you will have to finish the kayak off with a foot pump or a bicycle type inflator. This is a high volume low pressure pump.

I bought this product simply to feed my laziness in front the television.
I am full! Excellent product. One of the cushions has a very very small leak. Gets slightly softer after about 2 weeks. I could live with that.
I also bought the re-chargeble pump (which I think should have been sold together) which works well. gave it a 4 * because of the slight leak.

I bought this pump along with an inflatable air mattress for use when guests visited. However, after only two uses the pump is completely dead. It won't recharge and it won't even turn-on.

I understand that products break from time to time, but the real problem is Coleman's customer service department. When I called them to ask about warranty information for the pump, they responded with "We don't actually make that pump, we just put our name on it so we can't help you," and then they hung-up the phone!

I called them back right away, and got them to give me the number of the company that does manufacture the pump and when I called it, it was a disconnected phone number! Coleman does not appear to care at all about the quality of their products or the concept of customer service. I will NEVER buy another Coleman product again. As I said, products break from time to time and that can be forgiven, but no company should treat their customers this way.

I urge everybody who is considering the purchase of any Coleman products to boycott this horrible firm. By their own admission, they don't even make the products, they just pass them off to consumers. You deserve better than Coleman!!!

Excellent for camping -- you charge it at home, then take it with you without worrying about cords and chargers. Has plenty of juice for inflating/deflating your air mattresses numerous times. Quickly inflates an air mattress to a firm pressure, and the noise level is quite acceptable. I also love how it deflates your air mattress, so you're quickly ready to roll up your mattress into its smallest possible storage space.

I unpacked it, charged it, and tried it on three different types of airbeds. In just a matter of seconds, the beds were all in usable shape.

It is pumping great amount of air, and, despite that, it is not making a lot of noise. At least, not at a disturbing level...

So, it is a great buy for me.

I read the other reviews that said that was loud, but I didn't think so. I have two inflatable beds and I guess the pumps for those are noisier so when I got this it seemed fine. Also you can take this item for trips, and it is great for pool toys.

Generally satisfied. The deflating side works very well; much better than trying to squeeze the air out. Inflation is somewhat slower than I had hoped and the pointed attachment does not open some of the flapper valves, requiring squeezing them. Portability without extension cords is a big plus.

This little thing is pretty darn quick. I was expecting an air compresser type inflater, its more like a dust buster in reverse. Inflates my Coleman 4 man raft in no time flat.

It comes with a home adaptor to charge but it actually takes 6 volts into the unit to charge the battery, so If you found the right plug with the right voltage and polarity, you could make a car charger for it which is what I plan to do.

After buying a coleman inflateable kayak, I figured that an electric pump would be a wise decision. It proved not only to be a a lifesaver but also a worthwhile investment:
-pumps anything up pr deflates in a matter of seconds
-comes with all of the attachments you will need
-charge lasts for 2 or 3 large flotation devices on one charge (inflating and deflating)
-Saves you on physical labor
-Relatively quite for all it does - but certainly loud enough to wake someone if activated right beside them.

***BOTTOM LINE: This is a product that saved me considerable effort and time when it was cricial. For the price you pay for it, this is a real no brainer buy***

This is an awesome tool for inflateables. It charges up quickly, holds a charge for a long time, and then is portable so you dont have to fuss with cords. We have it in our motorhome and it is great because we can take it with us to the water and then blow up the inflateables when we get there. It deflates and inflates things in a matter of minutes/seconds. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for this type of tool.

This product works wonderfully but open the box as soon as it comes because it needs a 10-hour charge before you can use it. I opened it the morning I needed it and had no immediate gratification of blowing up my air mattresses.
